WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Determining the Level of Inner Freedom Test

Internal Freedom Scale Test

locus of control

This measure is designed to assess perceived autonomy and personal control over life events and decision-making. The Internal Freedom Scale provides a structured self-report approach to understanding how strongly an individual experiences themselves as the agent of their choices.

Developed by Julian B. Rotter, it includes 40 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Results are intended to support clinical formulation by identifying areas in which a person feels constrained versus self-directed, which may be relevant to motivation, coping, and stress-related functioning.

In applied settings, the Internal Freedom Scale may be used alongside other assessment data to guide conversations about responsibility, confidence in personal influence, and targets for skills-building or supportive intervention.
